Anyone?!?! Is there really no buddypress guru out there able to answer this question after being around for soon 2 years ?!?!?!

Thank you!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

if you put it in bp-custom crashes the site, if you try it in functions does not produce any changes.
so no merge whatsoever unfortunately

Would be great if this would be doable somehow

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

I guess that was not the question …
The issue is general and it applies to the fact that any user can see the activity stream of any other user, regardless if friend or not ..
Maybe we should wonder why would they “make friends” in the 1st place? Is this the way a social network works? How is Facebook solving it? LinkedIn etc !??!

None of these networks gives access to non-friend streams, only buddypress ….

So having this issue solved once and for all, after having people pointing out to this issue for longer than one year with NO ANSWER would be really a big step forward for buddypress.

Anyone having the solution!??!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

yeah, support is sometimes a real issue … anyways, this plugin does not seem to be available anymore – points to a sort of talk talk talk no download page …

Anyone found a solution how to only display friends activiy stream and not the site-wide activity??!

Is a very important issue in Facebook times, besides displaying the site-wide activity makes it illogical for people to want to add friends at all … why would they !?!?

an other dead topic ….

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

That helped! Thank you!
You were right, some funny plugin included jquery in header not once, but twice!
I was using TDO-Miniforms and had to kill the lines including the jquery in

plugins/tdo-mini-forms/include/tdomf-form.php
plugins/tdo-mini-forms/include/tdomf-template-functions.php

Hope it will help others!

And thank you for the tip!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

I cannot switch back to bp default now, as I have lots of customizations and from experience switching to a different theme will reset some of them which I really cannot afford to do ….

Tried with the plugins, could not find any faulty one ….

But how can you explain that it WORKS in Chrome, only not in Firefox and IE !!??!

This is the error that Firefox keeps giving back:

Error: jQuery(“#avatar-to-crop”).Jcrop is not a function
Source: http://www.site.com/members/membername/profile/change-avatar/
Line: 97

?!??!

Thanks!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

how on Earth do you guys find “the other javascript” that was responsible?
I have no clue about programming, I got the cropping working in Chrome only but not in IE & Firefox, and find NOWHERE some reliable advise as where to look and what to look for (with example as no programming knowledge)
Thanx

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

I am sure there IS something, the almost full lack of support around b-press is not exactely the best thing about this otherwise brilliant plugin ….
At least U see the select box, I don’t (http://goo.gl/Rpjp4) ! Have no idea where the conflict may be, nor where I should look …
And nobody here offers a hint …

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

@funmi_omoba —…. and do you have an idea as of how to achieve that !??!
Thanks!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I’d love a solution to that too! No links or emails allowed in the activity “wall updates” or “group wall updates”.
Some people are really impossible, and instead of engaging in conversation, their only contribution is to punch in links to their facebook or their email. Which is both stupid, annoying and is killing the whole community thing.

So please a solution – how can we forbid links and emails in wall updates?

Thank you!

PS: eberswine – I think (my feeling) that the 2 lines above refer to smth. else, namely to those internal links BP is creating from user names or tags for ex.

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

This buddypress installation here has some buggs bugging around for quite some time – impossible to edit post (try it!), search does not work etc.

Anyways, wanted to add a link to a plugin which might at least solve some of the issues (make sure you read the FAQs):

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-no-mentions

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

yuk, it sucks – and reasoning of the kind “is good to have user names as reference throughh the site” is unfortunatelly indeed a bit juvenile and with no touch to the real business world.

people give most of the times usernames they think they’ll stay secret and will only B used to login (as it actually should!) – than once “in” they find out their funky username is all over the place

really not professional – maybe good for kids sites or “anonymous” type of communities but definitely NOT for serious communities & networks

sad actually that such a great work as this plugin ruins its chances to enter the business world by stubbornly sticking to a decision that might not have been the greatest in town …

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 11 months ago]

it has nothing to do with the terms! if a user does smth wrong (spam, bad behaviour etc) if you delete him, it’s gone! So if he later on complains he was deleted abusively you will have NOTHING to prove it!

Imagine he starts doing that in forums, facebook, twitter etc. He IS the black sheep, but once I have deleted him, I have no proof of that anymore!

What is so difficult to understand here?!?

Your approach is really very simplistic, and provides no serious legal cover.

So I need to deactivate them, NOT delete them please!

[@candy2012 Member 14 years, 11 months ago]

Having the SAME problem!
How do we solve this please !??!
Anything to be set / hacked whatever?

We really needs thins to be done!
Thanks!

[@candy2012 Member 15 years ago]

Hi Brandon,
I’d love to learn more about how can I implement what you suggested (I am not a programmer, so I’d really need some code here )

“hook in a profile edit action and check to see if all the fields you require have been completed. ” .. how ?!?!?
Can you help with the function pls?

“Then you could hook into bp_init, check that usermeta field, and if you don’t get the correct response, then you can redirect them to their profile, or display an error telling them they need to complete their profile.” – would be fantastic, but again … how to write that?

The issue with “friendly or not for the user” is all related with what your site wants 2 achieve; if you simply need all that information to make your site useful and do not want to end up as a fakes collection a la Facebook, than you just NEED to find a way to enforce that on users …

Thank you in advance, woudl be really great to have some feedback on that!

(I find that user progression pretty much useless, and it does not work properly in WP 3.1.2 either ); that’s just my opinion on it ..

[@candy2012 Member 15 years ago]

what do you mean by “miss”?!? All those mandatory fields are useless if not forcing the user to fill them in (which right now does not happen)
It’s a complete lack of logics, don’t you see that?

right now you have so-called mandatory fields which actually are optional, cause no one, no where, can force the user to fill them in!

[@candy2012 Member 15 years ago]

works well for me
I would have loved to have a splitted registration form though (like fields from group1 on the 1st page, fields from group 2 & 3 on the following form registration page, etc), to prevent scare away users if you happen to have more fields you want them 2 fill in …

but I must be honest, I have NO clue as of how to achieve that ..

If you happen to find a solution, I’d appreciate if you’d post it back here

C.

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

@ivoss – God bless you for posting that link! (http://pastebin.com/RLreXE7X)

I lost days on this already!

These lines (aroung 150) are CRUCIAL for getting the values posted to the database (basically that `$fields_ids[]` function

`

<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

well, that (velomash) will not help much unfortunatelly .. nor will the required fields be cheked or the information for all group fields saved to the database!
Buddypress is so damn buggy on this one, wonder if they really thought of the purpose of implementing those fileds without proper connection to teh registration form; who the h* (sorry!) will go to fill in the fields if not requested upon registration?

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

dont worry, 2 years latert the sh* is in the same stage

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

here’s my workaround for this problem

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/multiple-profile-group-fields-in-registration/?_wpnonce=98e520cdd5#post-98202

as no buddypress gurus EVER botherd to give a feedback on this, and left everyone here in the dark for more than 1 year

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

the above still sucks of course (or rather the whole registration process for buddypress sucks!), anyway, the above code will unfortunatelly NOT validate the fields! So it would be possible for a user to register without filling those fields in …

Yeah, you tell me how happy I was as I realized that!
1 more day lost with this s*, but eventually found a workaround (I am sure it’s not the perfect solution, but at least it’s SOMETHING!)

So in order to have the required fields really checked, please add this to your header:

`

$(document).ready(function() {
$(“#signup_form”).validate();
});

`
where signup_form is the id of your form (

). If your form has an other id please remember to change accordingly.

Now go to each form field in your form and add this class:

` class=”” `

example:
` <input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” class=””/> `

And VERY important, around line 150, see that you have added this piece of code (basically replacing / expanding that `<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`)

`

<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`

So that was it, now it should work. Unlike the buddypress gurus out there, I didn’t want to leave any of you in “half darkness”, so I came back to post the solution I found.

I hope it will help you, even though it’s just a workaround, and I am 100% sure there must be a much more elegant solution than this.

But as I said, as the buddypress gurus could not care less about poor users who struggle to get that bpress working as it should, a “second best” solution is always better than NO solution!

[@candy2012 Member 15 years, 1 month ago]

hmm … I am afraid that plugin does smth. else, namely automatically registering a new user to a group, but what we meant here were the registration fields from xprofile.

Actually, I figured out a way to have them displayed, although there’s a lot of css fun you’ll have afterwords

In register.php you should look for this
“

and replace with this
“

This will display all the fields, but you’ll still miss the Title of each group.

To get that displayed, you can do this:

Look for
“

and just above it place this: `

`

That should do the trick.

It’s a dirty hack from a no-programmer, so please do not criticize. As anyone can notice, no programmer / developer ever cared to offer any help with this.
Actually very annoying that no one frm the development team ever thought about it, leave alone giving a hand here …

Hope you’ll find the trick useful though
